2" lift verses spacers

(1/9) > >>

timberdog:
I will be in a postion to buy a 2" lift at the end of this month what i want to know for about £200 what is the best set ??

Also what would spacers be like in comparison?

When fitting a 2" lift what is the step by step process to follow to enble fitment?

v8kenny:
Unless you are upgrading the springs and switching to gas shocks stick with spacers - a fraction of the cost and easier to fit
Ran spacers on my 110 with 255/85 tyres and had no probs and have 2 inch lift kit (bearmach blue springs & pro comp shocks) on 90 with same tyre size again with no probs
I would say you maybe lose a wee bit of articulation with spacers against lift but not so vague on the road - depends what you feel suits you best

Tips
See if you can get the nuts off the turret securing ring before starting the job. 4 out of the 8 of mine sheared and it was a pain running around getting new rings (and nuts, get them at the same time they are some wierd size)

timberdog:
so if i bought 2" lift and spacers and ran big tyres their would be no issues with problems then or am i missing it??


And were is the best to get soma spacers from and lift?


Also what size tyre is the maximum?

the invisible dog:
Bought my 1" spacers from Mill Services a while back
Dead easy to fit, no further mods necessary and quite happy on 235/85/16 Grizzlies  :D
Don't seem to have lost any articulation and everything still straight

With 2" aren't you gonna need to change dampers, add longer hoses and think about castor correction?
